Itchmo has created a one-page fact sheet that logs the timeline of events, latest death toll numbers, and important facts regarding the Menu Foods recall. We hope to make this the authoritative source on the Menu Foods recall and its impacts and serve as a historical reference.

Synopsis? The woman was apparently ‘tasting’ the food over a period of two weeks in an effort to coax her dog (who was accustomed to dining on table scraps) into eating it. Both the woman and her dog landed in the hospital. They appear to be recovering.

The FDA emphasized in their press conference on Friday that they did not know how the aminopterin entered into the affected food. Menu Foods, likewise, has stated that “wheat gluten” is only a guess, based on timing coincidences, and that there has been no hard-fast evidence to support that the wheat gluten is in any way contaminated. This should be stressed to consumers so as not to offer any false sense of security by simply avoiding products with wheat gluten.
